Lions club offers to fund memorial replacement By Malcolm Hopwood

As the community reacts with disgust to the vandalism of the Winz memorial, a local service club has already come forward with an offer to meet the replacement cost. President of Lions Club of Ashburton, Roger Paterson, said members were horrified at the actions of two people in destroying the memorial and have agreed to release funds from their Charitable Trust. While there is a proviso about the cost of a replacement, Paterson is confident it can be met. “We were disgusted at what

happened. The actions in vandalising the memorial were the lowest of the low,” Paterson said. “Lions members quickly reflected the strong feeling in the community and decided this was something we could do.” The memorial was installed on April 15, 2016, after Russell John Tully stormed into the Winz office in Ashburton nearly two years earlier and shot dead Peg Noble and Susan Leigh Cleveland. The memorial was damaged last Friday by two people caught on security cameras and later removed by Maori sculptor, Peter Green, who crafted it for its unveiling in 2016. Green inspected it and said it had to be replaced.

and eye-catching,” he said. He’s delighted the Lions Club has agreed to help fund the replacement and once approval is given from Community House, he’ll make a start with a projected completion by the end of July. Community House manager, John Driscoll, said Green “has a skill no-one else has got” and he’s pleased Green is willing to craft a replacement. Driscoll now wants to co-ordinate funding for the project and is delighted with the Lions Club initiative. “This time round when the memorial is installed, we’ll have security cameras to help prevent any further vandalism,” Driscoll said.

He has broken it down and retrieved fragments of the paua shells which were part of the design. “I’m privileged to be able to replace it and would like it to be similar,” he said. Green said the paua represents Tangaroa, the god of the ocean while the Oamaru stone represents the earth. In the vandalised memorial, Green connected them both and will do so again in his new sculpture. The abalone or paua came from North Canterbury and he will embed the pieces left in the new memorial, seeking further paua from the Kaikoura region. “The colour is quite beautiful

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) has smoothed the dip in the SH1 Ashburton River Bridge deck, enabling the bridge speed to return back to 50kph. Since the recent flooding and damage to one pier, the dip in the deck required the speed to be reduced to 30kph, delaying traffic at peak periods. After delays due to wet weather, NZTA closed the bridge on Monday night to complete the work which included the installation of electronic monitoring equipment to allow remote monitoring of the structure which will avoid more closures for manual monitoring. NZTA is aiming to complete the bridge pier repair in the next two months. “In the coming months we will be jacking the bridge to the right level at the damaged pier and fixing it at the right height,” NZTA network manager Jessica McFarlane said. “We will leave the jacks in places so if we need to make any adjustments in future, they can be made easily.” With the work completed and the speed limit reinstated the bridge now has 24/7 access for most vehicles. The bridge is open for over-dimension loads and the operating requirements for over-dimensions are as they were before the flood. The traffic management has been substantially removed and all the cones along the centreline have been removed, along with other cones on the edgeline. Overweight guidelines were being finalised on Tuesday and were to be distributed directly to the relevant industry and freight partners.

Cat attack devastates owner; sparks outrage By Maddison Gourlay maddison.g@theguardian.co.nz

The owner of a much-loved and now dead family cat is devastated after it appears to have been the victim of a sick pet torturer after an explosive device inserted in its rectum was ignited. Christina Lima (left), from Tinwald, still can’t understand how someone could cause such harm to her well cared for Chicago, who had to be put down by a vet. Two-year-old Chicago had been uncharacteristically missing for four days, eventually turning up at home with extensive injuries. “I was horrified when I saw it,’’ Lima said. “I just thought that this can’t be right.’’ Lima, who has a veterinary background, picked Chicago up to give him a cuddle when he got home. She could see an unusually large hole where his rectum was supposed to be, with burned skin and no fur in that area. He smelt of smoke and parts of his tail were missing.

“I think he was just happy to be home, but I was far too aware that those crucial parts were missing,” Lima said. “Whoever did this was a callous person and doesn’t care about animals.” Lima said the vet who tended to Chicago was in no doubt that someone intentionally aimed to maim her cat. The unthinkable act of animal cruelty has enraged hundreds of members of the public, who have taken to social media to post their anger and disgust and express their condolences. Aaron Gairns, who has never met Lima or the family, has taken charge in organising a help fund to find Chicago’s abusers. Over $550 had been raised by yesterday afternoon. “The owner is very upset and didn’t know where to start, so I took it over,” Gairns said. “I’m appalled. It’s an evil act and can’t carry on without being checked.” The hurting Lima family are grateful for the support and messages they have received.

Lima said they have placed their beloved Chicago in his final resting spot on their property and planted a camellia tree as a visual reminder of who she called her ‘’beautiful boy’’. Editorial. A message for cat torturer, page 10

PM’s first priority is to visit Ashburton Bridge By Malcolm Hopwood

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern will be escorted directly to the SH1 Ashburton River Bridge when she arrives in town tomorrow morning. The PM will fly into Christchurch and be driven to Ashburton late morning.

Her visit to inspect the bridge will be accompanied by Rangitata MP, Jo Luxton, Te Tai Tonga MP, Rino Tirikatene, as well as NZ Transport Agency (NZTA) and Ashburton District Council officials. Ardern declined to visit the bridge three weeks ago when she visited, leaving the assessment to Acting Minister for Emergency Management, Kris Faafoi.

Following the bridge inspection, she will hold two working sessions with council and community groups. The first, includes representatives from the Ministry for Primary Industries (MPI), National Emergency Management Agency (NEMA), NZTA, Environment Canterbury, Ashburton Mayor Neil Brown, and district council officials.

“She’s there to find out what the pressure points are and remove road blocks,” Ardern’s chief press secretary, Andrew Campbell, said. “She will also discuss the rolling out of existing funds and listen to requests for additional funding if they arise.” The second working session will be with Federated Farmers, the Rural Support Trust, Rural

Women and agencies that support the rural sector. “She is keen to talk about farming issues,” Campbell said. The PM’s office said Ardern will not be giving any public addresses while in Ashburton, but will speak to media following the two sessions before returning to Christchurch. Rural leaders ask PM for more support P4

Rural leaders seek $25m ahead of talks with PM By Adam Burns adam.b@theguardian.co.nz

Shingle and money. A lot more money. These matters will be top of mind when Mid Canterbury’s rural leaders call upon Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern for further assistance tomorrow for the flood-ravaged farmers of the district. The PM will be meeting with Federated Farmers, the Rural Support Trust, Rural Women and other agencies that support the rural sector tomorrow, one of two working sessions she will hold in Ashburton. Mid Canterbury Rural Support Trust chairman Peter Reveley said he would be seeking a significant cash injection to help the flood-hit rural community. “We want $15 million to help farmers and $10 million to take the shingle out of the river.” Federated Farmers’ Mid Canterbury president David Clark said a key topic will be the distinction between flood damage from water on low-lying ground and damage from shingle from the rivers. “How do we manage this excess shingle that builds up naturally out on the plains,” he said. “Because in this event it has spewed out onto individual farms, we don’t think that’s equitable.” The Government has so far committed half-a-million dollars for farmers and growers af-

In brief Memorial vandals Police are continuing with enquiries into the vandalism of the memorial for the two Winz attack victims on Cass Street. Two people were caught on security cameras damaging the Oamaru stone sculpture at around 7.10am on Friday. Police are appealing to members of the public for any information about the incident. They can contact police on 10-5 and reference file 210618/0828.

Roads open Mayfield Valetta Road and Thompsons Track are now fully open from Rakaia through to Mayfield. There are unsealed road sections and speed restrictions in place.

New arrivals Jacinda Ardern

The second tranche of refugees are set to arrive in Ashburton for resettlement on July 16. The first family arrived on May 28, with two families currently expected to arrive next month.

Dog control bylaw Some of the damage from river shingle during the Canterbury floods could have been avoided if there were better river management policies in place. PHOTO ADAM BURNS 040621-AB-5566 ter it declared the deluge as an “adverse event”. “There are farmers who face a clean-up cost of half a million alone from water damage, silt covering their farmers, lack of feed and damage to property,” Reveley said. “Farmers will meet their own costs, but they need substantially more from the Government.” Rangitata MP Jo Luxton, who previously hinted that further support was coming, said the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) had started working with the worst affected farmers to

provide them with financial support. A further $500,000 through Work and Income’s Enhanced Taskforce Green programme was also to be made available. “While the funding will be small in scale compared to many farmers’ bills, it’s a start towards recovery and MPI’s desire is to get grants to farmers as quickly as possible,” she said. The National Party’s Selwyn MP Nicola Grigg continued to put the Government’s response to the event under the microscope this week, whilst pointing

the finger at Environment Canterbury’s approach to its waterways. “They announced it was a ‘medium scale adverse event’, took some photos and left again,” she said. “I hope this time she comes prepared to offer some real help.”

Best birds on show By Maddison Gourlay maddison.g@theguardian.co.nz

The biggest poultry show in New Zealand had over 800 birds, and one rabbit, pack out the Tancred Street Sports Hall at the weekend. The Ashburton Fanciers’ Society Annual Show attracted high entrant numbers. Fitting into display cages, the varying breeds of birds were judged from the feet up to the beak over the two days, with renowned poultry judge Fiona Taylor making the trip down from the

North Island. Ashburton Fanciers’ Society secretary, Brain Glassey said a lot of work goes into preparing the birds for showing. “Especially the birds with the white feathers,” he said. It can take up to a week to fully clean and dry a bird, he said and getting its feathers to sit flat and in the right place. The best bird in the show, a fowl exhibited by Heather McCormick, also won the champion heavy breed fowl award. And then there was the one and only rabbit that entered the annual poultry show and rightly won best rabbit.

The Ashburton District Council is currently consulting on the draft Dog Control Bylaw and Policy. The council is proposing some changes to the documents and is asking for community feedback. Proposed changes include the dog exercise areas at North East Ashburton and Argyle Park extension, updated and proposed prohibited areas including Ashton Beach, as well as additional clauses. Submissions close on July 11.

Open spaces bylaw The Ashburton District Council is reviewing the Open Spaces Bylaw. The bylaw addresses the potential for problems to arise from the misuse of council owned or managed open spaces. Proposed changes include explanatory notes about camping locations within the district and about the civil aviation rules in regards to the use of drones, as well as some additional clauses. Public feedback on the changes closes on July 11.

Guest speaker This month’s U3A meeting on June 29 will feature Lincoln University Professor of Economics, Professor Paul Dalziel, as the guest speaker. Dalziel will explore what the Covid-19 crisis that caused major disruptions to economic activity might mean for future economic policies.

Vaccinations for the rest of Aotearoa New Zealand The COVID-19 vaccination rollout for the general population starts from the end of July. Our COVID-19 vaccination programme has built momentum steadily since February. We are vaccinating around 100,000 people a week at the moment. In the second half of the year we hit top speed and everyone in New Zealand aged 16 and over will be able to be vaccinated.

Moving to the general population So far, vaccinations have been made available to those most at risk of getting COVID-19 to limit the chances of it getting into the wider population. With more vaccine supply coming on, and having ramped up our infrastructure, vaccinations for everyone else in New Zealand aged 16 and over (the general population) start from 28 July. This is a very large group of people. To make this flow smoothly, we will break this down by age bands. All people aged 60 plus can book their vaccinations from 28 July. Then, two weeks later, people who are 55 plus. From there, new age bands will be opened up every 2–3 weeks based on confirmed deliveries of the vaccine and the speed of rollout to earlier groups. By mid to late August, invitations should be open for people over 45. By mid to late September, invitations should be open for those over 35, with everyone else being eligible from October.

Invitations Most people will get a direct invitation to book – either by email, text, phone call or in the post. You will then be able to book through Book My Vaccine, a new national booking system that will be online from 28 July, or phone a new national call centre. Availability of booking slots (the date, time and place you can be vaccinated) will vary between district health board (DHB) regions. Once you are eligible to be vaccinated, you can be vaccinated at any time. There is no cut off.

Registration Even if your age band isn’t open, everyone aged 16 and over will be able to go to Book My Vaccine to register for an invitation from 28 July. Registration means we will be certain to have your correct contact details and when your age group is opened, you will get an invitation telling you it’s your turn to book.

Getting a vaccination Step 1

Receiving an invitation We’ll call or send you an email, text or letter to invite you to book.

Step 2

Make your booking From 28 July, go to Book My Vaccine or call the new national call centre to book both doses, or to register if your age band isn’t open yet.

Step 3

Get your vaccination Have your first vaccination dose. 3–6 weeks later have your second vaccination dose.

If you don’t hear from us, or are concerned, you can register for your vaccination through the new national Book My Vaccine booking system at any time from 28 July.

Other ways to get vaccinated As we go through the year there will be other ways for people to be vaccinated. These will include workplace vaccinations and other targeted vaccination events across the country. For some remote rural communities we will vaccinate all age groups at the same time to make it easier for them. Our successful whānaucentred approach to vaccinations will continue for Māori and Pacific communities and those with disabilities.

Wednesday, June 23, 2021 Ashburton Guardian DISTRICT COURT

‘In real danger’ of return to prison A man who was jailed for manslaughter after he crashed and killed a Christchurch teen when he was under the influence is again on thin ice. Darrin Ray Stewart, 22, appeared in the Ashburton District Court on Monday for breaching his release conditions on three occasions, less than three months after his release from prison. The court heard that Stewart, who was released on parole from the Otago Correctional Facility on February 24,

is subject to conditions to not possess, use or consume alcohol or illicit drugs. It is alleged that Stewart, who is based in Hinds, provided a urine sample on March 26, which tested positive for alcohol. He later tested positive for codeine after providing a sample on April 19 before cannabis was later found in his system upon a third provided sample last month. The probation officer said Stewart admitted to using can-

nabis on three occasions since his release. He is now on a final warning but Judge Dominic Dravitzki stressed that Stewart is very close to a return behind bars. “If you fail again, you will be in real danger of being recalled to jail,” he said. Stewart was sentenced to three-and-a-half years in prison in 2019 after he pleaded guilty to manslaughter, three charges of reckless driving causing injury, failing to stop or ascertain injury, and failing

to stop for a police officer in May. Eighteen-year-old Alexia Noble was killed on November 16, 2018 when the car Stewart was driving crashed into a building at a school on Christchurch’s Gloucester Street after a high speed police pursuit. It was later revealed that he had been drinking and smoking cannabis on the night of the crash. Stewart was given a 12 month suspended sentence on Monday.

Supervision after day of thievery A 51-year-old man who allegedly stole a cap, before later walking out of a restaurant without paying for a $50 dinner has been sentenced to supervision. Patrick Hohepa Marshall pleaded guilty to a charge of shoplifting and theft when he appeared at the Ashburton District Court on Monday. It was alleged the man swiped a $40 Oakley cap from a Rebel Sport store in Timaru on June 5. The court heard that staff at the store were unable to catch up with Marshall following the theft. The man later dined at Zest Restaurant and Bar for dinner where he ordered Blue Cod and a Harvey Wallbanger cocktail. The meal and drinks came to $52.70 before the man walked out without paying. His lawyer told the court that the man is a sickness beneficiary who has ongoing mental health issues and that the situation was driven by “desperation”. The court was told that the man has had ongoing issues finding accommodation before the man himself hit out at local social services in the dock. “I believe my civil liberties have been breached,” he said. The man was also serving a term of intensive supervision which Judge Dominic Dravitzki threw out in lieu of a new sentence. Marshall was sentenced to six months’ supervision and was ordered to pay reparations of $52.70 and $39.99 to both the restaurant owners and retail store respectively.

Drunken food run ‘a real concern’ A drunken fast food run by a teenaged-learner licence driver has alarmed a court judge. Marcus Matene Bishop, 19, appeared in front of Judge Dominic Dravitzki at the Ashburton District Court on Monday, on a charge of driving with excess breath alcohol after he recorded a level of 1010mcg. He was pulled over just after 2.30am on May 2 after he was clocked at 64 kilometres per hour along Ashburton’s Moore Street. It was alleged he told police that he was “going for a feed”. Bishop’s lawyer Paul Bradford acknowledged that it was a stupid decision on his client’s part. Judge Dravitzki described the man’s actions as “dangerous behaviour” when handing the sentence down and questioned as to whether there were some underlying issues regarding managing alcohol. “It is a very high level and a real concern,” he said. “You shouldn’t have been anywhere near a car.” Bishop was convicted and fined $850 and ordered to pay a further $130 of court costs. He was disqualified from driving for 28 days with the alcohol-interlock licensing provisions to follow.

INVEST IN THE CVI FINANCIAL HIGH YIELD INTEREST RATE FUND

Used another identity to secure funds A 41-year-old woman who allegedly forged documents to swindle funds over a three month period has pleaded guilty. Angela Gail Rolton, appeared before Judge Dominic Dravitzki in the Ashburton District Court on Monday. The court heard that Rolton – previously employed by Everist Gilchrist Lawyers as a legal secretary – created a document using the Everist Gilchrist letterhead from her time employed with the law firm, creating a false document to secure a personal loan under another person’s identity. The defendant also used the victim’s details without their permission on two other occasions to secure two credit cards. Once getting the victim to send

the defendant a photograph of them and their driver’s licence to win a supermarket reward, the defendant then used that photo as proof of identity to secure one of the credit cards. The total amount outstanding on all the funds used under the victim’s name is more than $6000. The court also heard that Rolton stole cigarettes valued at $29.90 from Tinwald’s Lizzies Dairy on January 26, 2021. Rolton put the cigarettes in her bag when the shop attendant turned their back to make her an ice cream, and walked out of the store. Rolton was remanded on continued bail until August 16.

Reparations to pay after workplace ‘boilover’ An Ashburton man has been ordered to pay reparations after a workplace dust-up last month. Glen Paul Frederick Bradshaw, 50, appeared before Judge Dominic Dravitzki in the Ashburton District Court on Monday, where he pleaded guilty to an assault with intent

to injure charge. The court heard that Bradshaw – a former employee of Rooney Earthmoving – threw multiple punches at a colleague at a workplace cafe during the morning of May 13, believing that the man had “slighted him” in relation to ongoing damage to his car.

The victim allegedly suffered a swollen jaw and a bruised hand resulting from the incident which allegedly cost Bradshaw his job. Bradshaw’s lawyer argued that it was simply a case of “mistaken identity” after a long period of antagonism between the co-workers.

The court heard the man had a history of difficulties at the workplace and after approaching the victim in regards to the damage to the car and receiving a flippant response, he lashed out. He was ordered to pay $250 emotional harm reparations to the victim.

Council issues boil water notices

A lone skier cuts a fresh track in the fresh snow on the top of Mt Hutt on Monday.

Top start to the season By Jonathan Leask jonathan.l@theguardian.co.nz

Mt Hutt Ski Area is enjoying a stellar start to the season, and now everyone across the Tasman knows it. Having opened with a solid base earlier this month, and its new eight-seater chairlift operating, the ski area has been one party to benefit from the recent wet weather, receiving a further 20-30cm of fresh snow on Sunday night.

Then came an added boost on Monday with a visiting Australian film crew from the Today Show streaming live back across the Tasman to its around 330,000 viewers – which could entice a few more tourists to make the most of the travel bubble this winter and choose Methven as their destination. It was good exposure for the mountain and the region, Mt Hutt’s sales and marketing coordinator, Richie Owen, said as they enjoy a strong start to the season.

The recent snow accumulations continue to be at higher elevations, he said, which means the skifield is boasting a base area ranging between 30cm up to 245cm. With the better snow at the higher elevations, the new highspeed eight-seater chairlift, the Nor’West Express was proving worth the investment. “It’s been an absolute game changer,” Owen said. Owen said following the stormy conditions it took staff until around 11am to get the summit

six chairlift thawed out and operating, whereas the Nor’West Express was full noise from 9am. That meant patrons were getting bang for their buck, as they are able to get straight into action as well as getting in extra runs on the slopes, Owen said. The additional snow fall caused some minor delays on Monday, with some planned snow clearing works taking place and slushy snow required clearing off the access road before it was able to open, Owen said.

The Ashburton District Council has issued a precautionary boil water notice for the Mt Somers and Methven-Springfield water supplies. Residents connected to these two schemes are advised to boil their drinking water, water used in food preparation, and for hygiene purposes for at least three minutes before consumption. Monitoring equipment at the Mt Somers and the Methven-Springfield treatment faciliies detected high levels of turbidity, and although the treatment equipment was working correctly, it is less effective during periods of high turbidity. The council has issued the notice as a precaution. It is believed the rainfall recently experienced in the area has caused the turbidity levels to rise. The precautionary boil water notices will remain in place until further advised, and the council will continue to monitor the scheme. Residents in Methven can fill containers with safe water from the potable water tap at the Methven Recycling Drop-off Centre.

Message for cat torturer By Daryl Holden daryl.h@theguardian.co.nz

he depraved individual or individuals, who tortured a Tinwald cat by shoving a firecracker up its rectum before setting it alight, probably don’t have a clue what awaits them. Well, we’re here to inform. And it’s our pleasure to fill them in. Whoever you are, and whatever rock you are hiding under, you have not only incensed and enraged probably the entire community, but you are also clearly in breach of the Animal Welfare Act 1999. The act is jointly enforced by the SPCA, the Ministry for Primary Industries and the Police, and it’s a clear statement to New Zealanders – and to the rest of the world – that animals have a right to proper and sufficient care. Ill treatment or neglect of animals is a crime. Prison time could await the worst offenders. And you don’t get much worse than the atrocious, sickening act of cruelty inflicted on poor Chicago, the two-year-old moggy, whose injuries were so horrific that he had to be euthanised by a vet, devastating his loving owners. Learning of the despicable incident has caused widespread anger on social media platforms. That’s not surprising because when confronted with a case of animal cruelty, most people react with a mixture of disgust and rage, and a desire to see justice done. And to be honest, that’s a good thing. Because a community that tolerates cruelty to animals is a community on the road to ruin. Ashburton is not such a community. Our outrage is a good measure of our moral integrity. It says we won’t tolerate victimisation of anyone, even (and especially) beloved pets like innocent Chicago. But whoever was responsible for the unimaginable act on Chicago went way beyond cruelty in our eyes. They have revealed themselves as something less than human. And if they are willing to and capable of hurting an animal then it could be possible that they are predisposed to violence in general. Unfortunately, as sickening as the torture of Chicago was, acts of this magnitude and even worse, happen all too regularly. Each year, the SPCA investigates thousands of animal welfare complaints, some of which are so barbaric that they make the organisation’s notorious annual list of animal cruelty shame. Globally, it’s not any better where it’s been reported that every 60 seconds an animal is abused. Every 60 seconds. That just seems unconscionable, especially in our supposedly advanced culture. But until people start to look at animals – and not just dogs and cats – as fellow creatures who share our planet, then those numbers and those statistics may never change. Including, it seems, in Ashburton.

OPINION 11

Flood recovery, two weeks in W

e are two weeks into recovery, and the effects of May’s big rain event will continue to be felt in the months ahead as we progress through this phase. We are incredibly conscious that those living alongside the Ashburton and Hinds rivers have a great deal of work ahead to restore order to their properties. While fixing our roads and bridges is obvious work, our most affected residents’ less visible social welfare is also critical. While the Ministry of Primary Industries (MPI) and Federated Farmers are leading farm recovery efforts and co-ordinating volunteers, council is managing the broader recovery work to identify gaps and issues and assist as required. Council officers are still identifying damage to the network, which includes siphons and culverts. River and stream channels have moved, in some cases hundreds of metres, and some farms have new springs due to high groundwater levels. The cost of repairs to essential infrastructure is still being tallied, which may, in fact, result in requests to Central Government for financial assistance. Resources are also being made available to help our residents know who to go to. A guide of key contacts is

Regarding State Highway 1 and the Ashburton River Bridge, Waka Kotahi, NZ Transport Agency has worked on temporary repairs that have allowed the speed limit to return to 50km/h. This will help alleviate some of the delays for traffic crossing from Ashburton town to Tinwald. The temporary repair will be removed when the bridge pier is jacked up to level, and a final repair is made to the bridge structure. This is expected to be done in the next six weeks. We know that delays have been challenging, and a bit of patience will help us get through this; everyone involved is doing the best they can.

Govt flood response latest snub for Canterbury By Nicola Grigg

SELWYN MP – WORKING FOR YOU

ithin just six months of taking office Jacinda Ardern’s government has reverted to type and is now demonstrably the most hard-left, socialist government this country has seen in over 50 years. The decisions coming out of her Cabinet make Lange and Clark look like centrists. The reason I am pushing back as hard as I am on this is that I am seeing a rapid escalation in stress, anxiety and deep-set fear amongst business and community right across the Canterbury region. Ever since Labour took office in 2017, the wider Canterbury region has been overlooked for support – yet, asked to pick up the cheque for this Government’s reckless spending. The mind-boggling $6.7 billion for Auckland’s CRL on top of a $785 million bridge cycleway – at the expense of four lanes from Rolleston to Ashburton – are a case in point. The appalling response – or lack of – to flood-hit farmers and landowners is just the latest snub. Tourism businesses across the region have been wiped out by the border closure but don’t qualify for the $200 million tourism recovery fund. The regions that do qualify Kaikoura, Mackenzie District, Queenstown Lakes, Fiordland,

Selwyn MP Nicola Grigg inspecting the damage to Ben Streeter’s Winchmore farm after the recent flooding. PHOTO SUPPLIED and South Westland – have now inadvertently been pitted against our own operators. Then there’s the $3 billion Provincial Growth Fund. Again, greater Christchurch was not deemed to be in need of support. If a region as beset by natural disasters as ours isn’t deemed to be in need of a little bit of accelerator funding, then I don’t know what is. In the same breath as Labour has allocated almost half billion

dollars to ‘begin the transition’ to its proposed three-headed Wellington bureaucracy (comprising of the Ministry of Health, the new Health NZ and the new Maori Health Authority), it is refusing nurse pay rises. Therefore, it stands to reason that the CDHB is now being funded to restructure, but not to deliver better health outcomes to Cantabrians. To my mind, paying nurses what they deserve would go a long way to delivering those

better health outcomes. Then there’s the pay parity being forced on (privately owned) early childhood education centres. While everyone agrees ECE teachers could do with a pay rise, the rate at which they’re being forced into it is unaffordable. Centres I’ve spoken to from Prebbleton, Rolleston, Leeston and Burnham estimate they’ll either be bankrupt in two years – or their fees will need to go from around $30 per day to around

$50 per day. That’s the difference between a parent working, or choosing to quit their job to stay home and care for their kids. It doesn’t take a genius to work out what the flow-on effects of that would be. Are you a chippie or a tradie or a farmer? Your 4x4 will now cost you almost $3000 extra in a perverse government incentive to encourage you into driving an EV, in an attempt to reduce emissions. But here’s the kicker, anyone driving an EV is now charging it with electricity generated by coal. Thanks to short-sighted policies like banning gas exploration – and consequently, extraction – the Labour government has burnt more coal in the six months of this year than in all of 2016 and 2017 combined. The coal boilers they’re banning at schools and hospitals will now be replaced with electric versions (powered by coal) or with biomass versions (using wood pellets dried by coal). Appallingly, in order to counter these rising industrial emissions, this Government has decided to target the agri-sector and hammer it into making reductions that make the business of farming simply impossible. The Government walked out on me when I raised a few of these points in the House the other day – proving my view, they’re totally unprepared to listen. National’s Nicola Grigg grew up in Mt Somers and is currently the Selwyn MP.

Sarah Stevens (left) from the St Vincent de Paul Foodbank and Mary Buckland, immediate past-president of the Ashburton Bridge Club with some of the club’s donated items. When the Ashburton Bridge Club held their annual mid-winter tournament earlier this month, club members were asked to bring food for the St Vincent de Paul foodbank. Sixty-four members attended the tournament and enough food of various sorts was donated to fill six banana boxes. In the past club members have brought small presents for each other for the mid-winter tournament, but last year it was decided that a local foodbank was a more worthy recipient. Last year club members donated food to the Salvation Army foodbank. PHOTO SUPPLIED

Simon Shuker’s Code Cracker

Your Stars

ARIES (Mar 21-Apr 19): While putting in the time is definitely part of what makes improvement happen, the harder part is putting in the effort. Do the hours with a ride-or-die attitude and you’ll go far today. TAURUS (Apr 20-May 20): When someone thanks you for putting up with their flaws, you may realise the power in this gesture. Being imperfect as well, you feel a warm rush of gratitude to those who love you anyway. GEMINI (May 21-Jun 21): Since you are in love with a process, you don’t need a milestone to be happy. You love the game – the small decisions you make along the way, the chance to move, test, observe and move again. CANCER (Jun 22-Jul 22): Someone expects more of you and, in turn, you expect more of yourself. If you’re value-curious, just look at how many coaches and consultants are out there willing to charge you for the same thing. LEO (Jul 23-Aug 22): You want attention but only if it helps you make a difference. You’re not interested in fame for its own sake. It is only meaningful in so far as you can do good in the world with it. VIRGO (Aug 23-Sep 22): When the discussion turns to friends in high places, it’s better not to chime in. The temptation will be to prove how well you know someone but the more admirable choice is to say very little. LIBRA (Sep 23-Oct 23): Due to limited attention, the one who talks for an hour will be listened to for four minutes. The one who talks for four minutes will also be listened to for four minutes – that’s 100% listened to. Make that you. SCORPIO (Oct 24-Nov 21): Excellent communication skills can be learned. You can memorise the right things to say and deliver them with perfection, and yet... the messy, intuitive blowout may connect deeper and say more. SAGITTARIUS (Nov 22-Dec 21): You’ll execute an artful plan regardless of how creative you may be feeling at the moment. That’s the thing about artful plans. They can’t help but fall beautifully together. CAPRICORN (Dec 22-Jan 19): “I still have a lot to learn,” or so you may say. These magic words apply across the board in dozens of contexts. Use as many times and in as many places as you feel they’re appropriate. AQUARIUS (Jan 20-Feb 18): To find out what’s inside a pretty package, you have to open it. What’s the rush? Why not carry it around for a while and let everyone wonder, just like you do. PISCES (Feb 19-Mar 20): Does every bright quality have a shadow side? No, although entities without dark elements will be ill-defined by earthly eyeballs. Contrast gives shape, though it needn’t be extreme to be seen.

22 RURAL

Ashburton Guardian Wednesday, June 23, 2021

Ruralco scoops a double In what is traditionally perceived as a conservative, male-dominated industry, Ruralco has shattered stereotypes, winning the 2021 Gender Diverse Organisation Award. Sixty per cent of its staff are female, including 50 per cent of management positions. The Ashburton-based rural supplies co-operative now has a nationwide membership after developing its online trading to extend sales beyond its traditional catchment. Its only stores are all in Mid Canterbury, in Ashburton, Methven, and Rakaia. Ruralco chairwoman Jessie Chan also won Inspiring Leader of the Year. As the first female chairperson of a major New Zealand rural service co-operative and with a continuous desire to learn, grow and make a difference, Chan was the choice of the judges at the Women in Governance Awards. Chan is an inspirational role model, as a mum of two young sons, Adam, 8, and Noah, 2, she balances raising her boys, alongside dairy farming, several directorships, and board representation. Chan said she was proud to receive the award, which she dedicated to her father. “He taught my siblings and I that we could be whatever we wanted to be and instilled in us that along the way we should help others to reach their potential, in whatever shape or form

that might be.” In an industry that has been traditionally considered male dominated, Chan has spent much of her career breaking down barriers and perceptions. “When you pause and consider it, farming has always been a family effort of both a husbandand-wife team. “The role of women in farming is a critical one, and in our business partnership, we play to each other’s strengths. In the past women had roles that were less visible. “What has changed, is women are now taking on more public roles in industry or corporate leadership, governance or executive management,” Chan said. “Men and women have to work just as hard as each other to be leaders. Do not underestimate yourself because you are female, or too young or old, or a different colour. I am not afraid to stand up for what I believe in, take responsibility for my decisions, nor do I shy away from the hard work it takes to deliver results.” For women returning to the workforce after having children, Chan acknowledges that it is not an easy path. “It takes a mammoth effort, there are sacrifices made at home and additional support is needed. Be under no illusion that sometimes the wheels fall off, and when they do, just calmly put them back on and keep rolling.” On winning the 2021 Gender Diverse Organisation of the Year,

Ruralco chairwoman Jessie Chan has won Inspiring Leader of the Year.

Ruralco chief executive Robert Sharkie said it had always been about the best person for the job.

“We have created an environment that treats everybody equally, fostering an open-mind-

ed culture, not just putting quotas around gender.” Ruralco has led the way with the co-operative members voting women to four of the seven seats on the board of directors. “Having a mix around the boardroom has an advantage to the overall success of the business. “By having that diversity of thought around the board and executive table, it means the organisation is much better placed to understand their customers and stakeholders and benefit from fresh perspectives, new ideas, vigorous challenge, and broad experience. I firmly believe this approach to business gives Ruralco an edge. “We acknowledge the influential role women play in the farming business and wider community. Ruralco takes pride in our collaborative culture, our flexible working practices, and our ability to act quickly to embed change. “The success of our swift response to last year’s rapidly changing trading environment demonstrated to us that our team has resilience, determination and the culture to meet future challenges head-on,” Sharkie said. The Women In Governance Awards are administered by Governance New Zealand and are held annually and recognise and celebrate innovation, excellence, creativity and commitment to diversity by both organisations and individuals.

Wiggins named top communicator Mid Canterbury rural personality and farming advocate Craig ‘Wiggy’ Wiggins is the 35th winner of the Ravensdown Agricultural Communicator of the Year award. The award recognises and honours individuals and groups that have made important contributions to the agricultural community by using their skills to effectively communicate issues, events and information that are relevant to the sector. Wiggins is a passionate farmer, horse trainer, commentator, announcer, and MC based near Ashburton. His profile lifted during Covid-19 restrictions when he established Whatever with Wiggy, a weekly Zoom forum for farmers to engage with industry leaders and politicians to discuss issues of importance to the agricultural community. Wiggins was a leading organiser and facilitator of last month’s Agri Connect rural mental health seminar in Ashburton, which taught attendees the tell-tale signs of mental strain and where to direct farmers for help. New Zealand Guild of Agricultural Journalists and Communi-

cators president Jackie Harrigan said Wiggins was a deserving winner because he had facilitated much needed discussions within the agricultural sector – much of it in a voluntary capacity – and kept political and industry leaders appraised of the mood on farm. “Craig’s passion and advocacy for New Zealand’s agricultural communities has engaged and connected farmers, industry leaders, politicians, NGOs and the public. “Whatever with Wiggy has been an invaluable communication platform for members of the agricultural community, especially during the Covid-19 lockdown and restrictions when many were feeling isolated and overworked.” Wiggins has played an important role in promoting farming and agribusiness as a viable career pathway for the next generation. In November 2020, he organised and hosted an online Careers Day and invited every high school to attend. He spent the day interviewing rural professionals and leaders about their roles and why the

sector is a good career choice for students entering the workforce. Former winner Lain Jager summed up the judging panel’s thoughts. “Craig has a broader industry mission and his role as a volunteer must be commended.” Presenting the award was Ravensdown’s general manager customer relationships Bryan Inch, who praised Wiggins’ ability to connect with people from all walks of life. “Craig’s easy-going style appeals to people right across the sector and his positive energy shows that it is possible to thrive in a changing landscape. “His work has allowed farmers and rural people to keep up with new farm and freshwater regulations, ask hard questions of their representatives and champion rural mental health.” Wiggins was thrilled with the award which was presented during the National Fieldays at Hamilton. “I think it is just great that Ravensdown support awards like this. “My family deserve all the credit for putting up with me and all my travel.”

Craig Wiggins is recognised for his work in the agricultural community.

Mt Possession angus bull fetches $88,000

Bull Q53 bred by Mt Possession Angus sold in an on-farm auction for $88,000.

PHOTO SUPPLIED

A Mid Canterbury-bred angus bull has sold at auction for $88,000, possibly a South Island record price for a bull. The bull, from the Mt Possession Angus stud was bred by Donald and Leigh Whyte, of the Whyte Farming Company in the Ashburton Gorge in a joint venture with Ryan and Sarah Hussey. The top price for lot three, known as bull Q53, was paid by Max Tweedie of Hallmark Angus, Tutira, Hawkes Bay, at Mt Possession’s first on-farm bull auction. Whyte Farming Company general manager and stud manager Ryan Hussey said he believed Q53 was the complete package. “He has great phenotype (ob-

servable characteristics), with outstanding data and an awesome temperament. “He was poked, prodded, pushed and patted on sale day and never put a foot wrong.” In terms of performance data, Q53 has two indexes in the top one per cent for the breed, being the self-replacing index and the AngusPure index. He is a home-bred bull sired by Mt Possession M13. Of the 20 bulls offered at the auction on June 14, 19 sold at an average of $11,200. The Mt Possession stud was begun by the Whytes and the Husseys in 2015 with cattle from the Goldwyn dispersal at Hunter,

south of Timaru. It now has a herd of 100 cows and heifers to calve this year, grown with the use of artificial insemination and embryo transfer. The stud cattle are run at Hakatere Station at 700 metres above sea level under commercial conditions. High country farmers, the Whytes own one of New Zealand’s biggest deer farms, running about 5000 deer. The property was damaged in the Canterbury floods, Hussey said. “We had fencing and road damage. We lost a bridge into Mt Possession and a house was flooded.”

National success By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

Ashburton’s presence on the national stage at the New Zealand Indoor Bowls Championships last week hit a high point on the final few days of play in Blenheim. After a week of narrow misses for local players during the seven-day long championships, Ashburton walked away with a national title on Saturday – the final day of the event – when local bowler, Jeremy Markham won the New Zealand Open Fours. Playing with three good friends from the North Island, the 31-year-old played his part in helping his side through the tough knockout stages of the event, and then through the final, where the match went to an extra end after the scores were locked at 7-all after the allotted 10 ends of the match. Markham’s side, skipped by New Zealand Open Singles winner earlier in the week, Shaun Blackbourn of Waikato, were able to get the required one shot to take out the title. “It was pretty nerve-wracking there for a while, but a big thrill when we did get the win,” Markham said. “I’ve been in two New Zealand finals before this and lost them both so to get the monkey off the back and get a win is pretty special.” Markham began his bowls career in Ashburton, and returned to the local association this season having recently played for Canterbury. The fours proved a strong showing for local players with Michael Lawson and Simon Thomas making it through to the last 16 in the event before they were knocked out. Thomas had a huge week, fin-

ishing as a beaten semi-finalist in both the singles and the pairs, while he made the last 16 in both the triples and fours. In the Masters Fours on Saturday, brothers Barry, Graeme and Neill Chapman, along with Graeme’s wife, Maxine, made it to the semi-finals of the fours before they were knocked out of contention.

Meanwhile, on Friday there was extra reason for a group of local players to smile when they were named in the South Island team to tackle the North Island later this year. Mat Bassett, Lawson and Thomas were all selected in the men’s side, with Grant Wilson named as a reserve. Bassett will play lead in the

men’s fours event, while Thomas and Lawson will make up two-thirds of what presents as a strong triples team. This year’s inter-island test match is being held in Invercargill on August 14. Ashburton will get a chance to take on the North Island team as part of their tour of the South Island.

Mid Canterbury’s push to become a contender in Canterbury Hockey’s Division One competition hit a slight stumbling block on Saturday. After toppling the competition’s table-toppers last week, the Mid Canterbury Senior Men’s side went into the weekend’s clash against Rangiora brimming with confidence, but let a golden opportunity slip through their hands as they lost 1-2. In a thrilling encounter, in which neither side was willing to give the other an inch, it took until the third quarter of the game before the scoring was opened by Rangiora. After their first goal, Rangiora seemed to be spurred on as they quickly grabbed a second for the day, early in the fourth period. Down 0-2 late in the game, Mid Canterbury came to life and started to make inroads into the Rangiora defensive end and eventually they found the back of the net through the sliding stick of Brad Nordqvist. A chance at levelling the game up came late in proceedings from a penalty corner, but Mid Canterbury were unable to secure the goal from the movement, and the match was lost. Despite a loss, Mid Canterbury still sit in the hunt in Division One, holding down fourth place by just one point over Rangiora. There’s a bit of ground to be made up ahead of them though, with the third placed team some seven points ahead of them. This week the side is back to Mainpower Waimakiriri Turf to take on the bottom placed High School Old Boys’ Burnside team, in a match that they’ll be keen to walk away from with maximum points.

HARNESS RACING

Ricky moves within striking distance By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

A winning double at Addington on Sunday has moved Ricky May to within striking distance of 3000 career driving wins. The champion horseman now sits on 2997 wins in New Zealand, and looks well on track to have achieved the milestone by the end of the season. May bagged a brace on a wet and cold winter’s day at Harness HQ on Sunday, making the most of a chance pick-up drive for Burnham horseman, Mark Jones, and he also saluted with the Brent White-trained Samantha’s Moon. Samantha Ottley was supposed to be driving the Jones-trained Artatac in the early stages of the meeting, but travel disruptions

The rain might have been falling, but Ricky May was still smiling after a winning double on Sunday. PHOTO SUPPLIED from Invercargill – where she had driven on Saturday – left her, Blair Orange and Sheree Tomlin-

son stranded for the first half of the Addington card. So, up stepped May, and he

delivered a peach for favourite punters, finding the trail before dashing through late to snare victory. He’d been in a similar position in the race earlier with Samantha’s Moon, who ended a run of frustrating efforts for Ashburton trainer White, with a dominant display. The talented three-year-old filly began brilliantly and quickly lobbed the trail, and when May found clear air at the top of the straight, it was going to take a good horse to beat her, but none arrived. May gets further chances to add to the tally this weekend with harness meetings at Forbury Park on Thursday, Addington on Friday and Phar Lap Raceway in Timaru on Sunday. Later in the day there was another local success to celebrate

when the Allan Ford-trained Navara followed in the footsteps of May and made the best of a dream run behind the leader to win for driver, Jason Ford. The seven-year-old gelding grabbed the fourth win of his 23-start career in the process, but also ended a lean run of luck, grabbing his first win for the season in the process. A winner of three from seven in his first season of racing, Navara has struggled in the manners’ department at times but was faultless on Sunday, and proved too strong for his rivals, winning narrowly, but convincingly. Allan Ford needs one more winner this season to equal his best ever tally for a term of five, which he set back in the 20072208 season when smart trotter Sunmack netted him all five victories.

SENIOR RUGBY

Southern romp home, Methven do it tough By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

In contrasting styles, Southern and Methven made winning starts to Watters Cup rugby on Saturday. Southern picked up maximum points in their clash with Hampstead at the Hampstead All Sports Ground, winning 4326, while Methven had to come from behind, with a try on fulltime to down a valiant Rakaia 24-23. As they have all season, despite a number of changes to the side which lifted the Combined trophy just seven days earlier, Southern got the job done, scoring seven tries to kick off their campaign on the right foot. They scored through Tom Bell, Hamish Mackenzie, Josh McAtamney, Ben Naylor, Ryan Nicholls and Villame Ogotia, while James Hastings added three conversions. And while beaten, Hampstead will be far from disheartened. They managed to put a good tally on the board against the Combined champions, and their effort will have been widely noted by the other three teams in the competition. They also picked up a valuable bonus point for scoring four tries, keeping them level with Rakaia, who managed a point as well against Methven. All four of their tries were scored by forwards, with Falaniko Iakopo, Ioane Kasiano, SCOREBOARD Southern 43 (Tom Bell, Hamish Mackenzie, Josh McAtamney, Ben Naylor, Ryan Nicholls and Villame Ogotia tries, James Hastings 3 con) beat Hampstead 26 (Falaniko Iakopo, Ioane Kasiano, Atolofi Lapa and Nokz Salima tries, Junior Esae 3 con) Methven 24 (Tiger Holmes, Manasa Bari, Josh Harkness, Tauriri Kepa tries, Brenton Connell 2 con) beat Rakaia 23 (Tim Hanrahan, Masima Fakaosita tries, Thomas Whittaker 3 pen 2 con)

Rugby briefs Big win for the Celts The Celtic women’s rugby team finished their Canterbury Rugby season on a high with a big win over Lincoln University on Saturday, in their third and fourth playoff. Playing in the championship division of Canterbury women’s rugby, the side picked up their second win of the season against the University side to finish seventh overall and third in the division with a 47-5 win at Nga Puna Wai on Saturday afternoon. The nine-try effort including hat-tricks to winger Georgia Simpson-Higgins and also captain Anna Peters, while Amelia Aldridge, Ruby-Jane McLachlan and Meg Hooper also found a way over the line during the match.

Matt Stone on the charge for Methven on Saturday. Atolofi Lapa and Nokz Salima crashing over while Junior Esae kicked three conversions. In Rakaia, the locals buried the demons of a less than ideal Combined competition with a performance that will stand them in good heart for the local competition as they pushed defending champions, Methven, to the absolute brink. Yes, they came out on the wrong side of the scoresheet, but the style in which they approached their game and the power they’ve got lurking within their midst will see them a formidable force all season. Up 7-0 after 15 minutes of play after a try from Tim Hanrahan, Rakaia looked in full control. They were strong with the ball in hand, making use of some powerhouse ball-runners to get over the advantage line and leave Methven scrambling to cover them. But Methven came back at them, not for the first time this season using the shoulder of Nete Caucau, who put Tiger Holmes into a gap, and he crashed over under the posts to

bring the scores back to level. That looked for a few minutes like the moment that would swing the pendulum back towards Methven – but Rakaia were resolute and kept attacking and were rewarded with, first, a penalty to Thomas Whittaker – who had a good day with the boot – and then a try to Masima Fakaosita. That saw them up 17-7 at the 30-minute mark and a shellshocked Methven were left to chase. A double-edged sword moment came late in the first half though. An injury in the forward pack for Methven saw the early introduction of Manasa Bari to the game. Bari broke his leg in last year’s Watters Cup final, and has been on the comeback trail all season. It was his presence on the paddock that seemed to change the momentum again. He scored within minutes of making his way onto the field, and then played a big role in getting his side back on attack again. Josh Harkness was able to

crash over, and all of a sudden Methven were in front 19-17 at the break. The second half was even more brutal than the first. Neither side was prepared to give the other an inch, and two penalties from the boot of Whittaker put Rakaia back in front with time running out on the clock. Bari spent 10 minutes in the bin for not having his mouthguard, which put Methven on the back foot. However, they worked their way up field with seconds to play and somehow found space out wide for newcomer, Tauriri Kepa, making the 20-metre dash to score in the corner and win the game on the final whistle. Not only could the try for the win prove vital for the defending champions, but the fact it was their fourth and gifted them a bonus point too puts them in a good early position with a big match next week against Celtic. Rakaia will have to regroup for a trip to the other end of the district where they will take on Southern.

The Mid Canterbury Combined 1st XV were unable to combat the might of St Thomas, at the weekend, going down 50-19 at the Ashburton Showgrounds. Despite the loss, the Mid Canterbury side had their visitors on the ropes during the middle stages of the first half with the score locked at 12-all. But St Thomas showed their depth to run away with the match in the second half and deny the local side a bonus point, with only one more try able to be scored. The side will now regroup and get ready for a big clash with Rangiora High School this weekend.

School rugby Two Mid Canterbury schools’ side will be in action this afternoon at Celtic. The Ashburton College Under 15 side will begin the afternoon of action when they take on Lincoln College at 3.30pm before the Mid Canterbury Combined Girls XV play at 5.30pm against Roncalli College. After some good momentum building in recent weeks, the girls’ side are out to put on a strong performance and have put the call out for as many supporters as possible to be there to cheer them on.

Mixed bag for Colts Mid Canterbury had a mixed bag of results in Colts rugby action on the weekend with a big win for Celtic and a big loss for Methven Combined. Playing up in Darfield, Celtic were on fire, registering a 50-0 win over Darfield to stay within just one point of the Combined Competition standings. For Methven it was a less than enjoyable day though, ending on the wrong side of a 51-0 scoreline in their match with Springston at home.

SENIOR B

Allenton upset Methven in Senior B action By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

Allenton managed to do what no other team in Mid Canterbury’s Senior B rugby competition has been able to do this season on Saturday – beat Methven. After a narrow loss earlier in the season, the Allenton side managed to lift back the Bruce Beckley Challenge Shield at home at the weekend, beating the defending champions 3631.

In a 10-try thriller, the win gave Allenton their first victory for the Centennial Mug round of the season, and pushed them to second overall in the standings for the Second Grade Cup, which is a combined total from both rounds. They scored tries through Angus McTavish, who grabbed a double, as did Tetua-o-Tekeu Tuakeu from the front row and midfielder, Jake Wills, while Alex Roa slotted four conversions and a penalty goal. Methven, who have been the dominant force all season, will

now need to regroup – but won’t be completely forlorn, putting five tries of their own on the board. Corey Masters grabbed a double, while Jarrod Iuli, Sam Lock and Jack Millar also dotted down and Reuben Early kicked three conversions. Collegiate and Hampstead Combined kept within striking distance of Methven in the Centennial Mug standings with a 23-7 win over Celtic on Saturday. A double for William Tahuri led the charge while DJ Gleeson crashed over as well with Liam O’Connor netting a

conversion and two penalties. Celtic’s only answer was a try to replacement halfback, Albert Hobson. Saturday’s final match saw Mt Somers really push their button to romp home over Southern, winning 52-7 in an eight try score-fest under the mountains. Mt Somers scored through doubles to Guy Smith and Vernon Te Moananui, with Jack Warnock, Caleb Taylor and Reuben McLay also getting on the board, while Sam Pollock had a good day with the boot, kicking six conversions.

FOOTBALL

NETBALL

Western prove too tough

Pressure goes on top teams

By Matt Markham By Matt Markham

matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

Wet grounds and rain around the region put a halt to most football on the weekend, but Mid Canterbury United’s senior side were still able to get on the field in the New World Championship. However, after a string of really strong performances, the side finished on the wrong side of the ledger, losing to a very strong Western AFC side 2-8 at English Park. It was Mid Canterbury who opened the match up though, giving a glimmer of hope that the wheel had really started to turn for the side after some impressive victories in recent weeks. Nic Eden found the back of the net with a stunning goal early on in proceedings, but that action resulted in a reaction from Western, who woke up to the match and went on a rampage, netting five first half goals to take a comfortable lead into the halftime break. The second half, while still a losing one – was a little better for the United side, who managed to restrict Western to three goals for the half, while unsurprisingly, Luke Martin managed to get another past the goalie to add to his tally for the season. Martin has scored 15 goals in the championship this season, and nine of those have come in his last four matches. He also grabbed a goal in Mid Canterbury’s only match in the Chatham Cup and from 13 matches thus far, he’s scored in 10 of those games. The Mid Canterbury side is back at home again this weekend, where the get a chance to redemption with back-toback matches against Western. While the majority of senior football was put on the back-burner for the day, largely in order to protect pitches around the wider Canterbury region,

Mid Canterbury junior football went ahead on Saturday morning with the usual huge numbers congregating at the Ashburton Domain. The hugely successful event each

Saturday sees 46 teams play across the morning from the real youngsters in first kicks at the start or the morning to the more serious play for the older players later in the morning.

With just two weeks remaining in the second round of Mid Canterbury Netball’s premier season, there’s plenty to be both lost and gained on the court tomorrow night at the EA Networks Centre. An interrupted round due to the cancellation of one week’s worth of play during the flooding – where teams were given a draw for their matches – it’s created some interesting scenarios across all three premier divisions. In Premier 1, a clear leader should be found tonight after Hampstead and Celtic, the two leading sides in the competition lock horns in the middle game of the night, while plenty of eyes will also be on Methven, who will be out to lift themselves off the bottom of the standings when they take on Mt Somers in the opening match of the night. United, smarting from a heavy defeat at the hands of Hampstead last week, will look to bounce back in the late game when they play Southern in the final match of the night. In Premier 2, Ashburton College A and Hampstead B can both give themselves the best shot of getting a crack at a spot in Premier 1 for the final round of the season if they can both win tonight. Tied on points on the standings, if they both go through the next two weeks unbeaten, who takes on the bottom placed side in the top-flight could be determined by goals differential. College A play Southern in the 7.15pm match tonight while Hampstead take on Methven in the opening match. Celtic B and Ashburton College B will play the late game. Down in Premier 3, competition leaders Methven get the week off with the bye, giving the other four teams a chance to make ground on their strong lead. Mt Somers B will look to keep their run going after winning their first game last week when they play United B while it’s a battle of Ashburton College in the other match with the U18A side taking on 10A in the 8.15pm match.

Throughout the competition, Mayfield also fielded Margaret Read and Marilyn Cross in their side. The Veterans title was won by the Rakaia quartet of Sally Smith, Jill Burrowes, Val Sisson and Bev Sutherland, who were almost as impressive as their Mayfield counterparts, winning 7-3.

Ashburton Golf Club

There were some big games in the Presidents trophy last Saturday. The weather held and the big guns came to play. The metronome that is Robbie Bell was just too consistent for Barry Jury, but he will have a tougher game this week against the big hitting beast Sean Strange, who tore poor old Paul Baird apart. Richard Mc beat Kevin Smith then slipped in a couple of holes for the handicapper, unfortunately he is playing the handicapper this week as Charlie did the business on Steve Mc. A couple of old v young games went each way. Young Matt Tait smashed Lefty, but Ram Clark wore down young Tommy with tales that made the poor kid blush. Gaby made easy work of James but will now have a much tougher game against Josh Coyle who monstered Dave Hampton. My picks for the semi-finals Sean, Charlie, Matt and Josh. Good luck to all. I am not even going to look at the plate draw as that seems to have Lefty’s name already engraved on it, before he played and lost in the first-round proper. Top score of the day in the stableford round was 36 points to Don MacQuarters. The course was certainly playing tougher as 32 points managed to snaffle a prize. On Sunday we had pennants across the district. I do not have all the results to hand as of writing this, but the ones I do have are quite good. Hamish and his Holmes team suffered a close loss against a strong composite team. In the Patterson grade the 2 Ashburton teams had very strong wins. The young pups Vision Insurance team just pipped a very strong Mayfield team. Dylan and Tom led the way picking up all 5 points. Them James and Jordy lost all 5, with Jordy getting a right royal rooting by Kingsize. Then in the final group Mitch had a close loss but young Spud had a good win, and they took the fourball to get a great victory. Arkright led the old dogs to a superb 13-4 win over a very strong Highfield side, and in the spirit of the missing but much-loved skipper, Arkright put himself in the firing line and took on the Highfield gun player, suffering a humiliating defeat but allowing his charges an easy run to victory. What a legend! More pennants in two weeks’ time. Till next time good golfing.

Creative Fibre Considering the grotty weather there was a reasonable crowd at the Creative Fibre meeting recently which began with the co-Chairperson singing a ditty regarding the wet weather and crafting to the tune of ‘Let It Rain, Let it rain, let it rain’ followed by one of her quotes about loose ends. During the business, the Archivist reported that there seemed to be a Minute Book missing and she would appreciate if it turned up. Not all is lost as a member has the information on her computer! It was suggested that each member write up a list of dates of when they joined, any Committee positions held and for roughly how long (even the Tea Lady/ies) to make it easier to research for Obituaries when needed. The Co-Chairperson reported on the ‘Knit in Public ‘day held at the Library. The Librarian is very keen to have all groups involved meeting regularly in the new library when it opens. Our Librarian displayed the recent arrived magazines which are full of ideas on yarns and knitted and crochet toys which are now in ‘our’ library. If you wish to attend our Mid-Winter Christmas dinner on July 12th at the Hotel Ashburton please contact Pam on 027 370 3253 a.s.a.p. Back to Basics is on again this year at the New Life Centre on July 17th from 10am. Everyone welcome. Our meeting on 20th September is to warp up the looms ready for the workshop for Learners and newbie weavers on October 4th and 5th with Nynke Piebenga. Registrations are now open. For more information for members or public contact Pam on the above ph. number. We have been approached to demonstrate weaving at the Hampstead School on July 28th at 11am. The convenor of Show and Tell began with a table centre in Fillet Crochet, several pairs of children’s mittens and quite a few trauma/worry Bears to be donated to distressed children, Fiddle muffs for dementia patients, children’s and adults jerseys and hats, an adults crochet jacket, crochet rugs using scraps, a felted ‘Alladin’ style jug and a box of knitted ‘people’.

The piece de resistance was a felted miniature box holding a beautiful knitted jug about 5cms high, using crochet cotton and size 1.25 needles – very fine! We then split into two group – one making felt and turning it into a miniature boxes while the others assembled a card into a Christmas decoration. A good morning’s work. A reminder was given for Craft Cluster which is being held at the Plains Museum on 4th July. The public are invited to bring along their craft and join us for the day. A $2 charge to cover costs applies. Bring your lunch. 10 am–2pm.

Inner Wheel

Some members at our May meeting would have been rather envious of our interesting speakers, others of us glad to be listening. Judith and Marie spoke of their amazing trip on the Camino Way, showed some breath-taking pictures and explained to us about the walk. The Camino started as a religious pilgrimage after the discovery of the body of St James the apostle in the 9th century at Santiago in northern Spain. Santiago sits alongside Jerusalem, Rome and Mecca which are the best-known sites that receive thousands of pilgrims annually. Modern day pilgrims, with not such a religious agenda, brought this annual track back to life – so much so that in 1987 it was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Judith and Marie commenced their rewarding but challenging walking journey at St Jean on the southwest coast of France finishing in Santiago on the west coast of Spain. On the journey they admired tended vegetable gardens, many old Roman bridges and beautiful stone churches. They fortunately had lovely weather while they climbed up and down hills travelling through tunnels carrying the motorways on top, lots of cows, sheep and goats with bells on them. Encountering vineyards, caves with the earliest human remains in Europe, lots of popup shops with food, fruit, drinks and crafts They laughed at all the stork nests on the church turrets very ungainly nests and were glad to see the end of the road in Santiago. Judith and Marie explained there were three parts to the journey physical, mental and spiritual. There was inevitable pain but suffering was optional. The annual changeover of Ashburton Inner Wheel is on June 12th at 2pm for the meeting then the changeover at the Ashburton Hotel in the evening. At the Queenstown conference Ashburton club won the Morna Wood Trophy for the newest members over the last two years.

Mid Canterbury Central Friendship Club

President Ken welcomed 75 members and two visitors to the meeting and received six apologies. He expressed the club’s sincere heartfelt support and thoughts to the victims of the recent flood. Also, to the victims of tragic van and truck accident he extended condolences, and a speedy recovery to the injured. He inducted 4 new members to the club, Murray Jackson, John Pringle and John and Rosalee Duncan. Bruce Rolston was our mini speaker who spoke about an Australian, Sir Sydney

Elaine Vallender spoke all things St John at a recent Mid Canterbury Ladies Friendship Club meeting. Kiddman who grew up to become the largest privately owned, land owner in the world in his time. He left home at aged 13 with 5 shillings in his pocket to be with his brother in NSW. He met up with an aborigine who taught him many bush skills which become invaluable in later life. He met up with his brother and worked on Mt Gibb Station and after 2 years when he asked for a raise he was sacked. He was just 21. So he bought a bullock wagon and carted supplies to the local miners. A butchery business was his next venture and when the mine owners fell short on payments the gave him 15% of shares in BHP which he promptly sold for £150. A decision he regretted for the rest of his life. Today the company is worth over $146 billion. He continued in the cartage business, taking over Cobb & Co, and fattening and selling unbranded cattle. At 28yrs old he bought his first cattle station of 1000 square miles for £1,000 in cash. He went on to own 128 stations all over the country except Victoria. In the 1890’s depression, he almost went bankrupt but survived due to his bush craft skills and boundless energy. Then in 1902 when the big drought hit, he lost enormous amounts of stock. During WW1 he financed aircraft and sold horses to the army also supported the Salvation Army in many ways. He was knighted in 1921 for his war efforts. Our main speaker was Peter Gluyas from Gluyas Ford who showed slides of the early garage, people, etc. The EV cars was the main topic with the pros and cons related to them. He also showed slides on the new TV screen in the Senior Centre, of a yacht trip he took to Antarctica taken in 2005, sailing off the bottom of South America. A trip of a lifetime. Peter was thanked by Merv Green who presented him with a fruit basket. President Ken closed the meeting with the singing of the National Anthem.

Mid Canterbury Ladies Friendship Club

President Julie welcomed members to the June meeting of the Mid Canterbury Ladies Friendship Club. Birthdays and anniversaries were celebrated. There is a bus trip to Christchurch on 23 June and also a luncheon on 30 June. The mini speaker was Marion who told of pearl farming. Her son works in the industry near Perth where the workers are accommodated in a house boat. The pearls are harvested after two years from a freshwater mussel. Every pearl is unique, they are not cut or polished. After morning tea the main speaker was Elaine from St John Ambulance who told of all the programmes and services that they offer. Their core business is the ambulance service, however this is not fully funded. Emergency ambulance services provided by St John are funded approximately 70 per cent through contracts with the Ministry of Health and the Accident Compensation Corporation (ACC), the balance made up with fund raising. The health shuttle goes to Christchurch every week day, as well there is the Timaru shuttle. The drivers are volunteers, they are first aid qualified. Another service is the Caring Caller, there are 11 clients in Ashburton. Medical alarms may be provided, some are worn on the wrist. The Supporters Scheme costs $55 and covers emergency call outs, this is a National Scheme. The Youth Programme is popular with the Penguins and Cadets. As well there is the Op shop. If you call 111 you will be asked if you need Accident, Fire or Police, their questions are pre-determined. Elaine was thanked for her informative address. Julie closed the meeting with the Thought for the Month – “I can do things you cannot do, you can do things I cannot do, together we can do great things” by Mother Teresa.

Netherby Women’s Institute

There’s been plenty of action at the Ashburton Golf Club in the past week.

On a dull and dreary Monday 19 members plus Yvonne Lister from the Mid Canterbury Federation rolled in to the Seniors Centre for our June meeting. We also welcomed Maureen Griggs as a new member. Aspirations were recited together. Correspondence included several memos from NEC mostly about the 100th AGM bring held in Wellington at the moment and where Denise Clark, Joan Henderson and Rosie O’Brien are attending. Also a request from Mavis to do baking for the Rural Support Trust. The MOTTO Life is a jigsaw with pieces missing was read by Valmai Mitchell. ROLL CALL was Coins for Friendship. The Movie and Outing group is proving popular and they intend to make a trip to Christchurch on 8th July to either visit the Casino and or 10 pin bowling and maybe some shopping. Happy birthday was sung to Ngaire Gibbs for her 90th and the only member in June with a birthday. Members were also reminded of the Mid Canterbury Federation Cup Day and Quizco on 23rd July.

CLUB NEWS 29 Raffle was won by Barbara Burst. Competitions – not many flowers as one would except at this time of the year. The Moylan Trophy was jointly won by Nancy Christey and Barbara Danielson and the Northchurch by Nancy Christie. The rest of the afternoon was taken up with a Fashion Parade using five of our members modelling clothes from St. Vincent de Paul (Vinnies) as well as 1 member comparing who told some rather sick jokes – eg. Have you heard about the skunk? Never mind it really stinks!! Vincent de Paul (1581-1660), commonly known as Saint Vincent de Paul, was a French Catholic priest who dedicated himself to serving the poor. Vincent is the Patron of all works of charity. St. Vincent de Paul Society in NZ tackles poverty in all its forms through the provision of practical assistance to those in needs. The main way the Society raises money for its work is through the more than 60 shops around NZ that sell a variety of goods at very reasonable prices. All the clothes plus others brought over from the Shop were for sale and 27 garments sold plus 1 handbag which raised $60.00. If you haven’t visited Vinnies, on the corner of Victoria and Cameron Streets you should as they have some great bargains. Also donations are gratefully received. Our next meeting will be on Monday 12th July at the Seniors Centre with lunch followed by Housie. Afternoon tea completed the meeting.

Tinwald Garden Club

The April meeting of the Tinwald Garden Club took place with a mystery bus trip. 33 members and friends travelled to Dunsandel for morning tea at the Country Café. We feasted on scones and a variety of muffins. From here we went via Coes Ford to Days Road and visited K&L Nurseries. They grow hundreds of beautiful Gerberas and roses for florists and export. Such a choice of lovely colours all protected and grown in a big glasshouse. After our purchases, we were taken to Little River for lunch at the Café. The bus then turned left and went over the hill towards Akaroa, but as we thought it is late to go there, they surprised us and turned off taking us to French Farm, on the Wainui road. What an interesting QE2 covenanted pocket of native land that was part of the garden around the house. We walked all through this peaceful sanctuary and learnt such a lot from the owners. The outing was a very full day and enjoyed by everyone. The May Meeting held on 27th May at the Church Hall Tinwald we had 31 members including three visitors. Gardening anecdotes from Pam who spoke on the benefits of the falling leaves in autumn and their functions as they colour and fall. Turning red is the change of season and the green of chlorophyll within the leafy cells break down revealing the colours beneath. Each leaf fades and falls. In death the leaves form valuable mould to enrich the soil beneath. Their role after this is capturing the carbon from the air and releasing oxygen back into the air for animals and humans. They produce essential energy that enables our existence. The main speaker for the meeting was Jill Blacklock who spoke on her experiences as a Garden Sitter and had many interesting pictures to accompany her talk. She explained she and her husband were members on a Garden Sitting website and people who were going on holiday approached them to care for their gardens and maybe the pet cat or dog. For some people it was a requirement by their insurance company that their house was not left empty. She shared with us some interesting experiences and showed pictures of various homes and gardens that they looked after in Australia and New Zealand. Jill is still house-sitting now but only with regular clients. She was thanked on behalf of the club and presented with a gift. The next meeting in June will be the Annual General Meeting held at the Hotel Ashburton.

Rakaia pipped at post P26

Junior rep sides shine By Matt Markham matt.m@theguardian.co.nz

It wasn’t a clean sweep, actually far from it – but there were plenty of reasons for Mid Canterbury representative hockey smiles on the weekend when the West Coast came to town. The Mid Canterbury Hockey Association hosted five West Coastbased sides for the weekend with seven matches played across Saturday evening and throughout Sunday and while results in the senior matches were disappointing from a Mid Canterbury perspective, there was plenty to cheer for in the junior matches. Mid Canterbury fielded four Under 13 sides, who took on their West Coast counterparts across Saturday night and Sunday morning and in all four matches it was the host sides who emerged victorious. Those games laid the platform for the senior action late in the morning and into the afternoon. The Mid Canterbury Men’s B side started the big kids’ action and did so in fine fashion, recording a 4-0 victory over their Coast rivals.

Tim Harford continued his good form of recent weeks by bagging a brace of goals, while Matt Miller and Jacob Gray also found their way past the goalie as Mid Canterbury recorded an impressive win. That would be it though, with both senior sides falling on the wrong side of the scoresheet in the final two games of the weekend. The Men’s A side fought hard but were beaten 1-3 by the Coast in their match. A goal from Sam Bennett courtesy of a penalty stroke was all they could celebrate, but it was tougher for the women’s side who were beaten 7-2 by a very strong Coast side. Mid Canterbury did manage to find two goals during the match, with goal-scoring machine Hannah Mowat doing what she does best and scoring, and Sam Dalziel also made her way past the goal-keeper to score. There are some busy times ahead for local rep sides with the Under 18 mens’ and women’s tournaments held next month in Hamilton and Wellington respectively while the U15 boys and girls don’t play until October, with their tournament in Christchurch this year.
